Only once did Wallace give a public talk on his views on life, during a commencement address given in 2005 at Kenyon College. The speech is reprinted for the first time in book form. The speech captures Wallace's electric intellect as well as his grace in attention to others.
David Foster Wallace is the author of the novels Infinite Jest and The Broom of the System, the story collections Girl with Curious Hair and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, and the essay collections A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again and Consider the Lobster. His writings have appeared in Esquire, Harper's, the New Republic, New Yorker, Paris Review and other magazines. He is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, the Lannan Award for Fiction, the Paris Review's Aga Khan Prize and John Train Prize for Humour, and the O. Henry Award. David Foster Wallace died in 2008.
"None of the cloudlessly sane and true things he had to say about life in 2005 are any less sane or true today...["This is Water]" reminds us of [Wallace's] strength and goodness and decency--the parts of him the terrible master [the mind] could never defeat, and never will."--New York Times Book Review "Tom Bissel "
